Today is the final day of Verve's New Release Spotlights, which means two things: a) lots more eye candy today, and b) the official release is right around the corner! As in tomorrow (Friday)! Join us HERE in the Verve Forum at 8 pm EST tomorrow for good fun and chitchat. Can't wait!
Today's featured set is called Great Friend. You will *love* the generous size of the largest flowers in this set as well as the smaller sizes for layering! I can't wait to share all of the cards I made with this set, but for today, just one. The Divas are going to share all sorts of different ways to work with these flowers - coloring, layering, distressing, paper piecing, and so on. I stepped way out of character for today's sample and went with a modern, clean, graphic approach:
I know, can you believe? Clean and simple, all the way! I had so much fun stepping out of my layering-embellishing-coloring box, and I love that this can be easily re-created in less than ten minutes!
Now be sure to see all kinds of gorgeousness at my fellow Divas' blogs. Remember to leave comments on each of the blogs for your chance to win Great Friend!

What a cool approach. I like the open line look of the flower on the white.
Wonderful simplicity with just a few colors.
Great CAS card, Amy, sometimes these are just as hard as the super embellished ones!
I like the way you stamped the flower on this card -- I can do that!
The thought which goes into your cards is evident in the design. Elegant, Stylish, Modern - beautifully done.
I love it-great design and card.
Love this stamp set, and what you did with it is gorgeous!
I can only hope to have these ideas in my head some day. I swear, if it isn't colored, I am totally lost. I need to use this side of my brain, this is just gorjuss!
Awesome stamps! Thanks for sharing! Love the color combo! Lime green freak here!
